Born October 14, 1960 in San Mateo, CA to Richard and Chris Sullivan. Kevin was a loving husband, father, brother, son and friend. On July 27, 1984 he married Lori Tucker and she survives. He received his MBA from the University of Michigan and worked in the field of purchasing and supply chain management. He was very proud of his work with Ford Motor Company, including the development of projects with Sirius Radio and the Sync system. He presently worked for Eaton Aerospace. Kevin also coached youth basketball and his daughter’s Dexter community softball team. He was an active member of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Ann Arbor, a member of the 7th Circle of Men, an advisor to the YRUU youth group, and a founding member of the Men’s Council.
